Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice the brown onion into 2cm wedges. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Place the red onion, beetroot and peeled & chopped pumpkin on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.

GET PREPPED
2

While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

MAKE THE GARLIC COUSCOUS
3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

COOK THE FALAFEL
4

Use your hands to break each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). When the veggies have 5 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, cook the falafel, tossing, until deep golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
5

When the veggies are done, add them to the saucepan with the garlic couscous, along with the spinach and parsley. Toss to combine. Season to taste. In a small bowl, combine the creamy pesto dressing and Greek-style yoghurt.

Serve
6

Divide the pumpkin couscous between bowls and top with the spinach falafel. Top with the creamy pesto yoghurt and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
